Julie Fragar wins Archibald Prize with Justene Williams portrait

10 May 2025

Brisbane based Australian artist Julie Fragar has won the 2025 Archibald Prize for her portrait of fellow Brisbane based artist Justene Williams (Instagram link), a work as intriguing as its title, Flagship Mother Multiverse (Justene).

Sydney based Jude Rae was named winner of the Wynne Prize, for landscape painting, with her work titled Pre-dawn sky over Port Botany container terminal. Gene A’Hern, meanwhile, took out the Sulman Prize for genre or mural painting, with Sky painting.

This year’s prizes saw more work by women being selected as finalists, than men, for the first time. If you’re in Sydney between today and Sunday 17 August 2025, the works of the Archibald, Wynne, and Sulman Prize finalists and winners can be seen at the Art Gallery of NSW.
